Abstract

In processing language electronically, one can either concentrate on the digital simulation of human understanding and language production, or on the most appropriate way of storing and using existing knowledge. Both are valid and important. This paper falls in the second category, by assuming that it is useful to capture the results of linguistic analyses in well-designed, exploitable, electronic databanks. The paper focuses on the conversion of linguistic data of Genesis 1 between an XML data cube and a multidimensional array structure in Visual Basic 6 in order to facilitate data access and manipulation.
